Commercial Description:
Eisenbahn’s Defumada, very much like the famous smoked lagers of Bamberg, Germany, is brewed with a special, smoked barley malt, giving it a rich, smoky flavor and aroma. A delicious and immensely satisfying lager.
Ideal temperature: from 4 to 6 degrees

In short: A smooth and round woody smoked lager with an inappropriate aggressive carbonation. Good but could have been excellent.
How: Bottle 12oz. Probably fresh, consumed the days after I received it from hopscotch. Thanks a lot Eric
The look: Clear redish amber body topped short-lived beige head
In long: Medium smoke on the nose. Taste is woody malts (almost oaky), a little tangy, light roastiness, some caramelized nuts, a little fruit cake, a little beefy. The carbonation is unfortunately a bit too fizzy/tickling. Very distracting. This is a smooth and round beer with the wrong aggressive carbonation. A true amber lager feeling, the foundation of this beer reminded me a lot of the Polotmavys I was drinking in Czech Republic but with added smoke and tangy notes. A good smoke lager, as far as I’m concerned Brazil can burn down all the rain forest they want as long as they use the space to produce those tasty smoked malts.

Um belo exemplar de Rauchbier. O aroma e o sabor defumados são bem equilibrados, não chegando ao ponto da cerveja ser salgada. O aroma lembra bacon, presunto defumado, bom corpo, amarga no começo.

Had this paired with a Havarti cheese with caraway. This was a delightful beer with plenty of smoked flavors along with caramel. It was just so smooth. Nice looking, too with an amber hue and a small tan head. Very well done, but not over done. Went well with the cheese, too.

When I think Brazillian Beer, I think...smoked lagers? Pours reddish copper, with a thin bit of foam. Plus a bonus appearance point for the cool label. Smoke aroma is understaed and not overbearing like some German rauchbiers. Some toasty, chocolatey notes come through, as well. Flavor is a nice mix of smoke, toast, mint (?), and pine and biscuit. Not bad at all.

Courtesy of Quake1028. Pours copper with a thin wisp of a white head. Well almost no head. The aroma has some sweet notes, hints of dark fruity esters and very mild smoke. The taste however is fairly bold, a bit overly bold considering this is a lager, with a sizeable smokiness up front backed by some sugar sweetness that slowly turns malty sweet into the finish. There’s just a faint note of noble hops way out in the back.

Pours an orangey amber to copper with an average or so head, offwhite, thinning quickly. The nose is very smokey. A little bandaid, some small grapey fruit. Small bacon, mostly peaty. Rich malt. Very slight toast. Creamy substantial mouthfeel, smooth wit hsmall carbonation. Rich malty flavor with strong smoke. A bit of bacony sort of smoke, but a good deal more of the peat variety. A good deal of bandaid, a touch of grape. Some very strong lingering malt. A bit creamy. Some toast. A lingering peaty smoke and astringency. Not a bad beer, but I’m a sucker from the smoke
